Can I setup a paper trading account and purchase a given package without paying $100's of dollars?
When I look at the packages there is a $46 or so with DENALI feed, yet when looking here
"https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/FuturesData.php"
It says that if I do not have a funded broker account, I would have to pay $122/month?
Is there clear info anywhere where I can see all the pricing and know how much I actually need to pay in order to have a paper trading account and how much I would have to pay?

Thank you!

It depends on what you are wanting to trade. What are the exchanges for which you want real-time data?

Note that we highly recommend using the Delayed Streaming data while you are paper trading. This data acts like real-time data, but is available for free. Refer to the information here:
Delayed Exchange Data Feed

In addition, you can use our Simulated Futures Trading Service with the delayed data, just select the delayed version when connecting. Refer to the information here:
Simulated Futures Trading Service
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

I was looking to get live feed for S&P500, pretty much just that for now.
By the way, is there no direct way to just reply to a message or am I just blind?

We assume you are referring to the S&P500 Index from the CME Group (i.e. ES and MES symbols).

The issue with the CME group is that they require that you have a live, funded, futures trading account in order to qualify for the non-professional exchange fees. The other option is to pay the Professional prices, which are very high. Refer to the information here:
Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Understanding and Accessing Data From the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX Exchanges

This is another reason we created our Delayed Streaming data, so you do not need to go through this. Just use the delayed data until you are ready to start trading live.

EdgeClear allows you to open a live account with only 200USD one time deposit (without live trading privileges, you can trade on Sim with live streaming data), with Teton and Denali. That is probably what you are looking for.
